Making and using simple jigs...

Making a thread on "how To.." is still a bit daunting for me but I'm posting ( pardon the intrusion, please) some photos of the caboose project...

No problem with the "intrusion", but that caboose certainly looks worthy of its own thread - very nicely done and an innovative choice of materials, too.

Except for the couplers and the trucks (American standard gage, not cape gage of PNR), the project was scratch-built from styrene, index paper (window awnings) and guitar strings (stanchions)... the making of the platform railings, window grills will benefit so much from your tutorial... the construction drawing was developed from the following image..

That's a pretty heavy-duty looking diesel, especially for what we would call narow gauge. Are you modelling the PNP, but as a standard gauge line?
